Michael Hastings and conspiracy theories: Richard Clarke throws fuel on the fire

98. You should be more worried about the general loss of faith by the American people, across

the political spectrum, in their Government. Maybe if we saw some interest in applying the law to War Criminals, or to Wall St. Criminals, some of that faith might have been restored, but no one expects it anymore.

You are correct about the LAPD, one of the most corrupt PDs in the country, with its racist, brutal history, it's unlikely ANYONE is going to trust an investigation by the LAPD. And maybe that too should concern people, that our civilian police have lost the trust of the people they are meant to serve.

Across the spectrum, whether true or not, it is already clear that most people believe their government IS capable of silencing journalists. That is just a fact.

I have no idea what happened to him, and I probably never will. That is what happens when a government lies so speciously to its people for so long and nothing is done about it.

Bush, Cheney, lied this country into war, a crime of massive proportions which we at one time hoped they would be held accountable for. No one has that kind of hope anymore. There has not even been a hearing about some of the worst crimes committed by elected officials and by Wall St. That doesn't inspire too much faith in government.
